Advances in the Astronautical Sciences Series Volume 152 is a collection of scientific papers that were presented at the American Astronautical Society/American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Spaceflight Mechanics Meeting held January 26-30, 2014, in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
CHOICE Recommended Title, March 2019 This book brings together diverse new perspectives on current and emerging themes in space risk, covering both the threats to Earth-based activities arising from space events (natural and man-made), and those inherent in space activity itself. Drawing on the latest research, the opening chapters explore the dangers from asteroids and comets; the impact of space weather on critical technological infrastructure on the ground and in space; and the more uncertain threats posed by rare hazards further afield in the Milky Way. Contributors from a wide range of disciplines explore the nature of these risks and the appropriate engineering, financial, legal, and policy solutions to mitigate them. The coverage also includes an overview of the space insurance market; engineering and policy perspectives on space debris and the sustainability of the space environment. The discussion then examines the emerging threats from terrorist activity in space, a recognition that space is a domain of war, and the challenges to international cooperation in space governance from the nascent asteroid mining industry. Features: Discusses developments and risks relevant to the public and private sectors as access to the space environment expands Offers an interdisciplinary approach blending science, technology, and policy Presents a high-level international focus, with contributions from academics, policy makers, and commercial space consultants
Published for the American Astronautical Society (AAS). The August 1993 conference was hosted by the AAS and co-sponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The proceedings cover topics including attitude determination and control, TOPEX orbit determination and control, orbit determination, orbit transfer, tethers, mission analysis (planetary/Earth/general/trajectories), navigation, rendezvous, attitude dynamics and control, flexible body dynamics and control, and orbit dynamics. Additional papers from the conference are available on a microfiche supplement (v.70, AAS Microfiche Series); these are represented in the present volumes by an abstract with reference to the supplement.
